Aggie senior Jake Hubenak is not expected to play Saturday against Louisiana-Lafayette, according to TexAgs.com's Billy Liucci. The website reports Hubenak is suffering from a lingering shoulder injury, making walk-on freshman Colton Taylor the backup behind freshman Kellen Mond.

At this point in the season, the Aggies (1-1) can't afford to lose any more quarterbacks. A&M lost redshirt freshman Nick Starkel for the season with a broken ankle he suffered in the opener against UCLA.

Earlier in the week, A&M coach Kevin Sumlin said he expected Mond and Hubenak to play this weekend against the Ragin' Cajuns (1-1). Mond started last week's 24-14 win against Nicholls State before Hubenak replaced him in the second half.

"We have to continue to develop both of them, in my opinion, not just one guy," Sumlin said on Tuesday at his weekly news conference.

Hubenak has already had injury problems this season. In an interview on Thursday, Sumlin told ESPNU Radio on SiriusXM that Hubeank missed a week of preseason camp with an undisclosed injury.

"He practiced game week and was available, but had not practiced as much the week before going into UCLA," Sumlin said. "Obviously, with Nick getting hurt, he got more reps. I think that showed up during the game (against Nicholls)."

Last year, Hubenak suffered a shoulder injury against Mississippi. The Georgetown native who was filling in for starter Trevor Knight didn't practice the entire next week before his start against UT-San Antonio. Hubenak allowed A&M to keep Starkel's redshirt status active.

Now, it'll be up to Mond to get the Aggies through another week. A&M's other scholarship quarterback is true freshman Connor Blumrick. But if Blumrick takes any snaps, he'll lose a redshirt year. If that happens, A&M will have three scholarship quarterbacks with at least three years of eligibility remaining.

After struggling in the opener, Mond bounced back with a better performance against Nicholls State. The true freshman from IMG Academy made his first career start against the Colonels was 12-of-21 passing for 105 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions.
